THE LATEST BULLETIN.

Sir Maurice Cassidy, an authority on heart diseases, was summoned to Sandringham at 8.17 a.m. The King's condition was unchanged at 7.45 a.in. At 4.7 p.m. a bulletin signed by Williams, Hewett, Cassidy and Dawson says : “The King had a few hours’ restful sleep. Cardiac weakness is an embarrassment and the circulation has slightly increased and gives cause for anxiety.” It was stated earlier in the day that the anxiety expressed in last night’s bulletin persists. The word “anxiety” indicates that the doctors view the King’s condition with considerable concern. The fact that the Princesses were sent away is a further indication of the gravity of the illness, The only hopeful feature is the restful sleep reported in the bulletin.
